4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value but think before you assemble, December 28, 2011

So just a few quick points on this bed...

1. The box is VERY VERY HEAVY.. easily weighs 200 pounds and is 7 feet long and 2 feet wide so be prepaired for that.

2. This bed is NOT hard to assemble, I repeat it IS NOT HARD to assemble. You just need to take all the peices out of the box and lay them out on your floor and look at the instructions included. Make sure you are using the correct pieces before you start screwing everythign together and this is very easy to assemble. I did it by myself with a small screwdriver.

3. The bed is VERY Sturdy and seems like it will last for awhile. It looks good and had zero damage on any of it. I will say this tho, make sure you have a bed that fits the platform pretty close, the matress board is bare particle board and doesnt look too hot. i have the 12 inch memory foam mattress with a down comfortor and it looks like a $2000 floating bed. :)

Overall I give this a 4 out of 5 and recommend it to anyone looking for an easy cheap and very nice bed. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent quality bedframe at a discount price., February 20, 2012

This frame is basically what you would expect out of a sub $200 frame. Thick particle wood, utilitarian, decent quality (but not great). The assembly is the part most people will notice about this frame. Once you get it assembled, it is a reasonably sturdy frame that will look nice in a bedroom. Before that though, you will find some inconsistencies in the instruction manual and some of the pieces included. For example, the instruction say the frame should extend 118 centimeters from the base but also say that is the width of the pieces included to measure that distance, when it is in fact the length. Minor desriptive error, but not one that should have made it to press. The screws included are both weak and the wrong type. I would recommend taking them to a hardware store and getting some better quality screws designed to penetrate wood. The ones included arent. Additionally, the holes drilled into the frame dont necessarily line up. I kind of laugh at this because again, how hard could this possibly be to get it right. Personally, i would almost prefer they didnt drill the holes, since you will need to drill new ones anyway. Those are some examples of which i speak, and are specifically the reason i only give this product three stars. Will you regret buying this? Not if you are on a budget or just need something for a guest room. In both circumstances, this is probably exactly what you will need. Just expect a little legwork and adaptation on your part when you are trying to put it together.

It does look nice once assembled, btw.

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty...when it's assembled! get good screwdrivers!, February 17, 2012

This item is exactly like it appears in the picture. Modern, sleek, really pretty, versatile and sturdy. However to get it to look like this, expect a few (to many) blisters on your hands. You absolutely NEED two sets of screwdrivers: a phillips head (long handle) screwdriver AND a flathead (long AND soft handle) screwdriver. The latter will become your best friend after putting this bed together! ATTENTION: you can't use power tools as they will likely break the wood... It is not impossible to assemble by one person alone. I did it and I am a non-experienced, not very strong woman. It did however take me 2-3 nights to put together and that is mostly because of the sheer number of screwing that needed to take place and the not-so-good screwdrivers at my disposal. I had so many blisters from trying to tighten all the screws through 2 or in some cases 3 sheets of wood that I had to take a night off from DIY-ing to recover. If you have the right kind of gloves..use them! Also, if you have a bad back get someone else to make this for you... Expect to spend some (significant) time on the floor screwing things upside down. All of this said, it is a wonderful looking bed and have been sleeping on it for 1 month now without any accidents, so all the tightening does pay off! And you feel really proud of yourself after building it. If you don't mind a bit of hard work this is definitely a fantastic buy!
